That evening Jesus’ disciples went down to the shore to wait for him. But as darkness fell and Jesus still hadn’t come back, they got into the boat and headed across the lake toward Capernaum. Soon a gale swept down upon them, and the sea grew very rough. They had rowed three or four miles when suddenly they saw Jesus walking on the water toward the boat. They were terrified, but he called out to them, “Don’t be afraid. I am here!” Then they were eager to let him in the boat, and immediately they arrived at their destination!
--John 6:16-21
Jesus performed many miracles, walking on water, healing the sick, raising the dead, turning water to wine, and many more.
Many people have turned healing the sick or "faith healing" into a lucrative enterprise. I wonder why I don't turn on the TV and see preachers walking on water or raising people from the dead. Imagine the ratings!
